StingEmALTO Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The Alto Yellowjackets travel to Union Grove for the first time ever on Friday, November 9th to take on the Lions. This is the last game of the regular season before the bi-district round. Alto has secured the 2nd seed behind Carlisle while Union Grove was eliminated from playoff contention by Cushing last Friday. The Jackets and Lions have met one time and that was in the 2014 area round of the playoffs at West Rusk HS; the Mean Sting won 47-0. UG in the upset or Alto rolls?

villagegenius Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Alto should get a good tune up before heading into the playoffs and a probable 2nd round rematch with Garrison. Continue to iron out the kinks and then get out of there healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knothead58 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 If it rains friday or the day before hopefully they let's you walk around the track to get to the visitor stands if not bring rubber boots or shoes you mind getting nasty case the mud washes down the hill over the sidewalk. If it's fairly dry then it's ok for fans. You'll have your backs to hwy 271. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds worse than the visitors side of The Pit.....at least they have a concrete sidewalk to get you to the stump of your choosing. Are the visitor stands a pretty decent size? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know how often band marches on field, just know there are deep ruts in it. Field’s terrible shape not because of band, but all the rain. When Carlisle played there, it was the muddiest and most slippery surface I’ve ever seen. With three days of rain forecast this week, it can’t be any better.

Hawkins was literally a mud bog by halftime; worst we've played on this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stands are fine it's just about 50-75 yards where the grass never took. Clay and top soil wash down to the sidewalk. Haven't seen the field but I bet it's about as bad as hawkins by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingEmALTO Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 I had to dig around on page 3 to find this thread. YES, we are still playing this game! Thursday night is in Alto, varsity travels to UG on Friday. Looking like a monsoon tomorrow evening, although the forecast has been lowered to 60% at 5:00.
